I had one that had the physical camera but was not enabled, they had no problem adding it, was about $185 to program the option, was pretty straight forward out in and out about 40min.

Pull out your center rear headrest and simply look in the rear view mirror. I have the Cargo Camera and never use it!

I did pull out the head rest the rear window must be different the hitch cannot be seen no trouble seeing the hitch in my 14

Is the new one a short bed?


As far as adding it my dad has been told no by 2 dealerships. There are aftermarket options thou, and they use the OE camera.

I looked up the parts for the cargo camera and they are stupid expensive. The CHMSL is $700! Then you have to hope the wiring is there.
Best to look for aftermarket.

Correct. As best I understand....the wiring harnesses are partially integrated within the headliners. Adding a rear cargo camera will be much more difficult with a Tradesman truck than it will a Laramie (or higher) trim level truck.

On my 18 it says the wiring is serviced only with the headliner. I could not find the wiring listed for a 20.

If you have a decent local trailer retailer they usually have demo units so you can see quality in person.

At least ours does. They have a few different options in the showroom.

The place by us usually is at or below etrailer for most things and you can usually see the quality of the stuff. And its a local family owned place so service is always better then most places.

What truck model did you order? If you can why not lower the seat back so, you can observe the hitch? I know I can do this on my Mega Cab to see the hitch better when my wife is not there to help. She believes pulling our 5er is a two person job so, she insists that she needs to help such as lining up the truck to hitch up.

See the black dot in the center of the front box. It looked right at the hitch and displayed on the 4.3" display in the cab. Cheap to do. Worked great, and much better than the RAM OEM camera from the reports I have seen.

Similar to this. I have a second camera on a switch that looks down at front bumper. The way is works is both camera have separate inputs. First switch provides power to rear camera and second switch provides power to the front grill camera, we it powers on the display auotmagically switches to the input.

Getting the wiring out of the cab for the rear camera was a little work. Came to the rear seat floor area under the carpet, and then out via the recessed storage/cooler in the floor.
